A Yeovil man accused of threatening violence towards another male and damaging his car during an incident earlier this year is to stand trial.

Darren Andrew Ellis, 37, of Goldcroft, appeared in the dock before district judge David Taylor, sitting at Yeovil.

He was charged that on January 31 at Yeovil he used towards Matthew Peacey threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause him to believe that immediate unlawful violence would be used against him.

He was also alleged to have damaged a car windscreen to the value of £140 belonging to the same complainant on the same day.
